Yoga Sutra 1.9
Revision as of 16:21, 7 February 2019 by Ansuman (talk | contribs) (Ansuman moved page Yoga Sutra 9 to Yoga Sutra 1.9: This order of list should be more convenient to find a verse out of Four Chapters! )
शब्दज्ञानानुपाती वस्तुशून्यो विकल्पः ॥९॥
Śabdajñānānupātī vastuśūnyo vikalpaḥ ॥9॥
Śabda:word, sound; jñāna:cognition; anupāti:following upon; vastu:object; śūnyaḥ:empty; vikalpaḥ:fancy, imagination
- Following upon knowledge through words but empty of an object is fancy.
- OR
- Verbal delusion arises when words do not correspond to reality.
Vikalpa - unfounded belief is imagination without the basis of an object. It is a creation of our mind. Unlike right and false knowledge, there is no real object in vikalpa.
